Nope. The RS1 was the only one that had those 18" rims as a package with it. The rest all came with the stock 17s and had an option to get the 18s.

No, you have an 06 so you'll be fine. We have (I have an 06 too) a rotational sensor on the axle and not a wheel TPM sensor.

Oh, says 06 in your profile. Then yes, you would have to make sure the TPM sensors are all switched carefully.

 The sensors are inside the tires built into the valve stem so each time you get new tires or are swapping rims, you have to swap the valve stems when the tires are broken down from the rim.

If you get a summer set of rims/tires, then you will have to either deal with the light or buy another set of sensors. They are not the cheapest things either so the light may have to due.

 there are 4 sensors in each tires of the stocks.

if you plan to put aftermarket wheels on youd have to swap those sensors into your new wheels.

if you dont have thos sensors in your new wheels the tire pressure light wont turn off.

it will be on all the time but it doesnt meen that your tires are bad or deflated. it just meens that its not sensing the sensor because the sensors isnt there.

go on ebay. it cost 50 bucks each.

and yes it only happens to 07-09 tc owners
